The frame keeps this chart’s own freshness stamp, any third-party source credit, and the attribution line; the source line under it links back here with the data’s licence terms. It updates when the site redeploys.
Daily class aggregates from published Neon quote snapshots, archived through 2026-10-14; their citable series IDs, with each comparison-policy version, are under Cite. A day or class without a comparable quote stays a gap — never interpolated; a median on fewer than 3 venues is drawn as its range (a vertical bar), never as a point on the line, and the tooltip and table view print that range.
